The Wooden Cross: The cross itself is typically the focal point of the image, made of rough-hewn, natural wood that shows the grain and texture of the material. It could be positioned upright, either standing alone against a darkened background or partially supported by a surface. The cross’s natural simplicity contrasts with the intensity of the flames, creating a juxtaposition of calm and chaos.

Flames: The flames of fire would be dramatic and captivating, swirling around and over the cross in bright yellows, oranges, and reds. The fire could have a symbolic quality, representing purification, sacrifice, or spiritual transformation. Depending on the shot, the flames might be subtly blurred to show motion, or they could be sharply focused, making the fire appear almost alive as it surrounds the cross. The flames could be photographed so they seem to consume the cross, or the fire could appear to be gently rising from the base or edges of the cross, emphasizing the idea of divine presence or spiritual power.
